Vlog 032 - Mutiny!

Lambing is over, but the farm is still BUSY! The ewes cause some trouble during chores, and we take a roadtrip to buy a new machine!

Hello.Iceland, I have been watching a Canadian sheep farmer and YT is sending me sheep channels. I was born and raised near St Paul Minnesota. Our farm areas were settled by Nationality in a project by John J Hill and the Catholic Archbishop. My Grandma is first Generation Norwegian American from Leikanger Parish in Sogne Fjord Norway. I didnt know she spoke only Norwegian until she entered school. She passed when I was age 9 in 1960 and lived in Russell MN. She had 9 kids and took in her sisters 6 boys too. She had her father's Farm until the day she died. Four of my Aunts married farmers in surrounding towns. I did hear that she went to weekly card games with the "Icelanders" That made more sense when I discovered she spoke Norwegian. I read about the early European settlers and then the climate got less peaceful so ships stopped running back and forth for a while putting a woman married on Iceland but returned to Norway but needed verification she was married which wouldnt be possible for at least 20 years when shipping resumed. I was a fan of Iceland standing up to the international banksters operating badly in Iceland 8 or so years ago. Thanks for letting me see and hear farming there.

Hello Peace Seeker! Thank you for sharing your grandmother's incredible story, and thank you for watching! I have some strong farm women in my ancestry as well, I hope I'm doing them proud. P.S. I was impressed by Iceland's handling of the banking crisis too!
